SPECIFICATION forming bart 0f Letters Patent NO. 380,019, dated( March 27, 1888. Application led September 7, 1885. Renewed September 12, 1887. Seria-l No. 249,531. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM E. CANEDY,

residing at Rochester, inthe county of Olmand it consists in the improved construction' by which the two are secured together so as to be readily put into or out of Working position.

rlhe object of the invention is to produce a vise which may be firmly secured to the anvil and quickly turned down out of the way, leaving the whole top of the anvil clear.

ln the drawings, Figure lis a side elevation of anvil and vise attached, the anvil being attached to a bench. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of anvil and part of rear jaw of vis'e, the remainder of vise in elevation. Fig. Sis a rear elevation, and Fig. 4 a perspective, of rear jaw of vise. Fig. 5 is an end view of anvil.

A indicatesA the anvil, having a screwthreaded hole, B, in the end opposite the horn.

C is a vise of ordinary construction in most respects. The rear jaw, D,hasascrewthreaded projection, E, on its rear face, which may be cast thereon. rlhe vise-screw F passes through this projection.

The projection E has a number of raised lugs, e, on its rear end, which lugs serve to prevent the nut H on the vise-screw from turning.

The anvil has a half-round or other groove; K, in the end, to which the vise is attached. The jaw D has a similar groove, L, in appropriate position, so that when the vise is applied to the anvil and turned until the rear' jaw rests snugly, against the anvil. the ltwo Y grooves will be opposite each other and form a hole or passage between the vise and anvil. A pin or key forced into this hole prevents the vise from being turned or loosened from the anvil; but when it is desired to use the entire surface of the anvil this key can be withdrawn, and by moving the vise a quarter-turn of screw E the vise will lie horizontally across the end of the anvil, and` need not be further removed to give free access to the face of the anvil. The inserted key, added to the large screw, gives a connection between anvil and vise of great strength and stiffness, and one of very easy and quick adjustment.

l`I claim-e l. The combination, with an anvil having a screw-threaded hole in one side, of avise having an attached screw threaded projection which enters said hole in the anvil, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with an anvilvhavinga Ascrew-threaded hole therein, of a visehaving an attached screw-threaded projection which A enters said hole, and alfasteningkey in a passage between the anvil and vise, substantially as described.

3. In combination with a visejaw having vWILLIAM E. CANEDY, n
